Buttons: Floating Action Button

The v-btn component can be used as a Floating action button. This provides an application a main point of action. Combined with the v-speed-dial component, you can create a diverse set of functions available for your users.

Usage

Floating action buttons can be attached to material to signify a promoted action in your application. The default size will be used in most cases, whereas the small variant can be used to maintain continuity with similar sized elements.

Sets the component transition. Can be one of the built in transitions or your own.

Examples

Small variant

For better visual appeal, we use a small button to match our list avatars.

Display animation

When displaying for the first time, a floating action button should animate onto the screen. Here we use the v-fab-transition with v-show. You can also use any custom transition provided by Vuetify or your own.

Lateral screens

When changing the default action of your button, it is recommended that you display a transition to signify a change. We do this by binding the key prop to a piece of data that can properly signal a change in action to the Vue transition system. While you can use a custom transition for this, ensure that you set the mode prop to out-in.
